Reuters - Greece makes IMF payment but hopes of quick deal dashed - "Leftist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' government sought to shift blame on Tuesday onto the euro zone and IMF for a lack of agreement in the three-month-old negotiations, charging that each was setting different "red lines" on multiple issues from pension and labor reforms to the primary budget surplus. But EU officials accuse Greece of failing to produce enough concessions ahead of Monday's Eurogroup meeting of euro zone finance ministers and the group's chief, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, said an agreement then is no longer possible".

Peter Spiegel, FT Blog - "The Greek government appears to have found a different, more traditional way to raise extra money: it’s collecting more taxes and spending less money".
